The Power of One
A gunshot,
one gunshot,
one piece of metal,
one trigger,
one finger,
just one gunshot,
and a whole world can change,
a mother, emotionally destroyed,
a child, forever scarred,
a wife, forever lost,
a soul, forever forgotten,
and a life simply gone,
vanished into thin air,
a friend,
a father,
a brother,
a companion,
a person,
gone.
A gunshot,
one gunshot,
does not just kill a man,
but kills a whole world,
of friendship,
of inspiration,
of love,
gone,
ruined,
destroyed,
and distraught.
It is unthinkable,
that a 9 millimeter piece of metal,
can do so much,
yet this is what we have brought upon ourselves,
a world in which one,
is all it takes,
one piece of metal,
one trigger,
one finger,
and just one gunshot.
